The House passed a bill to expedite the domestic mining of critical minerals, aiming to decrease the United States’s reliance on China.
House lawmakers voted 224-195 on Wednesday to pass the Critical Mineral Dominance Act, written by Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN), chairman of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. The bill would codify specific provisions of President Donald Trump’s executive orders on domestic mining and hardrock mineral resources.
